First Michael Brown estate auction to begin Sunday in Houston

Back to Gallery

The first of four Sunday auctions of the late Michael Brown's estate is scheduled to take place Jan. 5.

The auction begins at 1 p.m. at Webster's Auction Palace, 14463 Luthe Road in north Houston, as part of a bankruptcy case still in progress in U.S. District Court.

Doors open at 11 a.m. Jan. 5 and are also open 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Friday for previewing.

The former hand surgeon, who had a lavish lifestyle and was often in the headlines in the past few years, died Nov. 8 in a Miami hospital after suffering a cardiac arrest in October.

The first auction emphasizes home furnishings, luggage and jewelry.

Among the offerings are two brass lion statues measuring 7 feet, 4 inches, and a Ridgeway weight-driven grandfather clock of the same height.

Also listed are a pair of Henredon Ralph Lauren footed three-drawer chests, a Henredon 12-drawer dresser, a pair of Lexington upholstered sofas, a drop-front hideaway desk with leather insert and three drawers and a signed and numbered Ron Herron "His Majesty" jaguar statue.

Other items include an antique 6-foot Bennett Sinclair Dino gasoline pump Model No. 766, an antique Duncan parking meter and a 7-foot carved Native American chief signed and sculpted by Don Rutledge.

The second auction, scheduled for 1 p.m. Jan. 12 at Webster's Auction Palace, will include vehicles, tools, machinery, restaurant equipment and a trailer-mounted generator.
